Royal Papworth Hospital Charity

By raising new money and management of existing funds, Royal Papworth Hospital Charity is able to make grants to Royal Papworth Hospital to benefit patients and staff specifically to:

• improve the Hospital environment • provide both state-of-the-art and extra equipment to make a real difference not just to patients’ treatment but their lives beyond • support and develop Hospital staff

They do this by raising valuable funds through a variety of ways including: • events • community activities • corporate partnerships • legacies and in memory giving; and • effectively managing the charity funds and investing wisely.

Working with inspirational people, they aim to make a difference to every patient and every condition that is treated at our Hospital above and beyond that provided by NHS funding.

Did you know...

Royal Papworth Hospital Charity is currently supporting a world-leading, heart transplant programme which means surgeons can now utilise donor hearts which were previously considered too damaged to transplant. This highly successful DCD programme has meant that 147 patients to date have been given a new chance at life.

This incredible programme is an example of the outstanding partnership between Royal Papworth Hospital Charity and the NHS; only together are they able to financially support each operation. As such, every penny raised to support this ground-breaking initiative helps to ensure this life-saving technique can be made available to those patients in need.

What makes Royal Papworth Hospital Charity different…

The Charity supports the UK’s largest specialist cardiothoracic hospital and the UK’s main heart and lung transplant centre. Performing the UK’s first successful heart transplant in 1979, and the world’s first heart-lung-liver transplant in 1986, Royal Papworth Hospital is responsible for a great number of medical ‘firsts’ and with the financial support and investment that our Charity provides to the Hospital, we hope to be responsible for supporting many more ‘firsts’.
